​The connectors for linking hospitals to the telematics infrastructure are installed in the akquinet data center. Photograph: akquinet

Bensheim / Hamburg, Oktober 18, 2018. The implementation of the telematics infrastructure (TI) laid down in the E-Health Act poses enormous challenges for hospitals and doctors. They are required to buy new and approved card readers and connectors which are then implemented to link them to their own branch software and to the health insurance companies. The IT service providers Concat AG and akquinet AG are currently the only providers who can offer a telematics connector solution as a data center service. This solution consists of a connector farm where several connectors are installed in a server cabinet and managed by a monitoring software.

​The Twist:

The connectors are not installed at the clinic’s data center, the doctor’s practice or outpatient department, but in a computer center of akquinet AG. The clinic or the doctor is supplied with the components for connecting to the telematics infrastructure by akquinet as a service. "This allows us to move most of the telematics out of the clinic, which reduces the number of visits by technicians to the hospital and thus the in-house documentation requirements. In the data center, the connectors are protected against a system failure," says Dirk Aagaard, akquinet's Board Member responsible for Sales, explaining the advantages.If a connector or card reader is defective, the component is replaced free of charge as part of the contractual service. The security and availability of the data is thus significantly higher than when it is set up within the hospital. A further advantage is the possible, flexible expandibility of the telematics infrastructure, especially in view of the upcoming doctor's electronic health record and other changes in the area of telematics and IT. The suppliers of healthcare software can use a uniform interface or continue to use other existing interfaces and thus reduce development and maintenance costs.As part of the offer, the Bensheim system house Concat will provide the Gematik-approved and BSI-certified components, the KoCoBox MED+ connector, and card terminals (Ingenico ORGA 6141 online, Cherry eGK keyboard G87-1505). Akquinet, as the contractual partner of clinics or practices, will install the system, including setting up the secure VPN connection and linking the connector to the PVS system. The Hamburg-based company will install the connectors in one of its TÜV-certified and BSI-tested German computer centers and provide maintenance and services.Further information is available at www.konnektor-service.de for clinics, medical care centers, and practices.

]]>Mon, 14 May 2018 07:00:00 GMThttp://www.meridiannow.com/news/concat-ag-general-storage-and-schmitz-rz-consult-enter-cooperative-partnershipBackup Eagle monitoring software extended to include interfaces for dsmISI Suite, and GSCC, for use with IBM Spectrum Protect

Bensheim/Lampertheim/Pulheim, May 14, 2018 – Concat AG, General Storage, and Schmitz RZ Consult have entered into a cooperative partnership. The objective is a solution that provides customers of IBM Spectrum Protect, Dell EMC Isilon, and Veeam centralized and system-wide monitoring of large backup environments. To attain this, interfaces were developed for the integration of dsmISI Suite, and General Storage Cluster Controller GSCC for Schmitz RZ Consult’s Backup Eagle tool. The new 9.60 version is available now.

​System-wide monitoring and reporting in large and complex backup infrastructures with numerous components and features represent a significant challenge today. Very few tools offer a bird’s-eye view of hundreds of servers down to the very last detail. Schmitz RZ Consult from Pulheim developed the Backup Eagle software, which is deployed worldwide by users of IBM Spectrum Protect (ISP) for this very purpose.

To offer administrators even more transparency and security, General Storage and Schmitz RZ Consult developed interfaces that integrate dsmISI Suite, and GSCC. These are now available with the 9.60 version of Backup Eagle. Among others, the software provides templates that make elaborate configuration and adaptation activities superfluous.

The benefit: with daily backups with billions of files, Backup Eagle automatically creates logs and presents them in a form that allows rapid error detection. With the new version of the tool, administrators can see the current status and history for dsmISI ISP, dsmISI ISP Plus, GSCC and Veeam at a glance. What is more, the new interfaces visualize the load balancing of dsmISI: this way, the administrator knows which server accesses which Isilon systems at which times via which channels.

For the dsmISI MAGS software, the results of the backups are accounted for with all details and stored for as long as required.

“The integration of dsmISI, GSCC, and Veeam in Backup Eagle ideally matches our idea of the most complete view of a backup environment. This makes the software even more valuable for our customers,” explains Martin Schmitz, managing director of Schmitz RZ Consult.

Bensheim, April 16, 2018 – Concat AG along with partners n-design, Net-Design, and Identos, have a booth (hall 1.2, booth C-111) at the conhIT 2018 tradeshow in Berlin, April 17-19. Demos include; a full package for connecting medical practices to the telematics infrastructure (TI), connector hosting instead of own operation, and a GDPR-compliant hub app for mobile hospital services.

​Concat AG is one of only a handful of companies in Germany with a consistent supply chain to equip doctors with a full telematics package. Approximately 100 certified IT partners, professional end user-related service providers, and PED were trained and certified by Concat and can connect practices to the TI throughout Germany. As a full-service systems integrator, Concat offers the certified components required for this from a single source – KoCoBox MED+ connector and card-reader units by Ingenico and/or Cherry – and the VPN access. Concat’s’ technical team in Rhineland-Palatinate provides the complete support needed.

The connector hosting topic premieres this year at conhIT in a simulated environment. Hospitals’ IT heads can learn firsthand how operating the connector gets outsourced to a highly-secured data center.

Also presented for the first time is the new hub app developed by the partner Identos. It is GDPR-compliant, due to its internal cryptography procedures which address clinics who would like to forge ahead with digitalization toward “mobile first.” Existing clinic apps can also get integrated under the umbrella of this application. The possibilities range from secure messaging (instead of WhatsApp), with strong encryption for communication between doctors, both internally or externally, as well as with nursing staff and patients, right up to appointment processing with targeted push notifications. The use ensues by PIN, following prior verified identification.

​The long-standing partner n-design demonstrates the crypto engine n-sign. This modular software system contains all necessary features for signature, encryption, and authentication as required for the telematics infrastructure. This way, security-critical workflows can be realized rapidly and reliably by the highest security standards. The component for a qualified signature (QES) is in the design for the European eIDAS signature.

Bensheim, Germany (February 7, 2018) – The E-Health Act stipulates that all healthcare practices must be connected to the so-called telematics infrastructure by the end of this year to compare the insured data of the electronic health card online. Practitioners who fail to meet the deadline receive penalties

The Hessian Minister of Health Stefan Grüttner accompanied by Dr. Michael Meister, a member of the Bundestag and Chairman of the CDU-Landesgruppe Hessen, and Rolf Richter, Mayor of Bensheim, accepted a meeting with Concat AG to understand what they are doing to support the E-health Act. Concat is one of few companies in Germany offering a complete package to doctors, dentists, and psychotherapists to meet the requirements.

Topics included the sensitive subject of connecting medical practices to the health network, digital consultation hours with strong encryption for communication between a doctor and patient, and the growing digitization of health care.

Via a network of on-site certified service providers, a healthcare practice’s computer system can get connected to the network in a maximum of two hours - without paralyzing current business activity. Concat provides the required legally certified components and services via the partner network from a single source. For the certification and support of the partners, Concat set up and qualified their personnel in sales, engineering, and support. The first Concat-affiliated doctor's office in Hesse will go online during the first quarter of 2018.

In a demonstration, Stefan Grüttner, Dr. Michael Meister, and Rolf Richter experienced first-hand how doctors and patients can safely exchange sensitive data. Whether X-ray image, diagnosis or digital visit with video support, information exchange takes place with Encryption-as-a-Service by Identos. After secure identification clearance, there is robust encryption on both sides.

"I am glad we accepted the invitation from Concat,” said Minister of Health Stefan Grüttner, “The encryption technology shown focused on our top priority, the safety of patient data. We support telemedicine from the stateside with six million euros a year because it is an important bridge to support our rural areas. For example, local sisters could switch on a computer for a video home visit with a general practitioner bringing high-quality care directly to the patient's home.”

The meeting ended with all attendees, the Hessian Minister of Health Stefan Grüttner, Dr. Michael Meister and Bensheim Mayor Rolf Richter well-informed about the healthcare activities of Concat AG.
